Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper.

2. Melt the butter with the oil in a large, heavy ovenproof casserole over medium heat. Brown the chicken in batches, about 8 minutes per batch, being careful not to pierce the skin. Remove to a plate.

3. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the carrots, onion, garlic, and tarragon; cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Return the chicken and any juices to the casserole, arranging the pieces atop the vegetables. Cover and bake in the oven for 1 hour, basting occasionally. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.

I know I'm a bit late but better late than never.
This is the fifth time I'm making this dish...well, you guessed - it's because my family loves it!
A few times I've added a tad chicken broth because sometimes there isn't enough gravy for the noodles. Other than that, it's perfect. The tarragon made all the difference with the flavor.
Thank you EPICURIOUS for sharing this delicious recipe!

Sounds easy enough and delicious too. Only change, with my family would be to use 8 skin on bone-in chicken thighs only. Dark meat lovers. Going to cook this up tonight (9/6/14). Will report back tomorrow.

Made this according to the instructions, except that I didn't baste it, and baked it in an enameled cast iron pot.. It turned out absolutely fantastic, though I thought about adding some white wine or chicken broth before putting it in the oven. Definitely didn't need it. Definitely keeping this recipe.

Fabulous! I would recommend adding 1 cup chicken broth before putting in the oven.

A simple and wonderful dish. It is better still if you cut back on the butter/oil by 1/2, keep in the oven for 1 1/2 hrs., add canned whole potatoes 30 minutes before oven time is over, add whole mushrooms 15 minutes before oven time is over, and add frozen string beans 10 minutes before oven time is over. We used chicken thighs (bone in) and it was a very hearty dish.
